Kidnapped - Kidnapping - Netflix

In criminal law, kidnapping is the unlawful carrying away (asportation)
and confinement of a person against his or her will. Thus, it is a
composite crime. It can also be defined as false imprisonment by means
of abduction, both of which are separate crimes that when committed
simultaneously upon the same person merge as the single crime of
kidnapping. The asportation/abduction element is typically but not
necessarily conducted by means of force or fear. That is, the
perpetrator may use a weapon to force the victim into a vehicle, but it
is still kidnapping if the victim is enticed to enter the vehicle
willingly, e.g., in the belief it is a taxicab. Kidnapping may be done
to demand for ransom in exchange for releasing the victim, or for other
illegal purposes. Kidnapping can be accompanied by bodily injury which
elevates the crime to aggravated kidnapping.7k

Kidnapped - Canada - Netflix

Kidnapping that does not result in a homicide is a hybrid offence that
comes with a maximum possible penalty of life imprisonment (18 months if
tried summarily). A murder that results from kidnapping is classified as
1st-degree, with a sentence of life imprisonment that results from
conviction (the mandatory penalty for murder under Canadian law).
